Perhaps it is not fair to compare, but I feel Lagunitas Imperial Red or Odell's Extra Special Red are much better examples of big, hoppy red ales. The Horizon Red, I found to be overly burnt tasting. The appearance is a nice, dark amber. However, it was not a particularly easy drink as I simply didn't enjoy the overall flavor. The cascade hop flavor, while there, was drowned out by earthy, burnt overtones. I would drink another one but wouldn't buy a whole 6 pack.

Rating from notes. Consumed Summer 2012. "A classic US Red Ale with a robust yet balanced hop character (citrusy), nice dryness, and oily-resiny mouthfeel."

Another good beer from this summit variety pack. Faint citrus piney smell. Mouth feel is pretty light for the style. Seems like another easy drinker. Would buy again.

A clear red ale with medium carbonation rising. About a finger of tan foamy head that settles down to a ring and leaves some moderate lacing. The aroma is malty and dank with some pine notes, too. Same goes for the flavor and a bit of citrus in the form of grapefruit. Mouthfeel is medium thick body, full carbonation and dry. Fresh, this is a nice dank single red IPA. Worth a try, very nice price for what you get.
